Explain why mess extinctions occur and why it make sense to measure geologic time between mass extinctions

1 answer:

Nastasia [14]2 years ago

Mass extinction occur from natural disasters, such as a n asteroid hitting earth or a volcano errupting and spread ash everywhere.

It makes sense to measure geologic time between mass extinctions because after each mass extinction, there is almost no life left and the few left have to repopulate, which may lead way to new mutations and new varieties of plants and animals.

You are standing in a building whose height (40m) you throw a ball downward at a angle of -30 at a speed of (10m/s) acceleration

jeyben [28]

Answer: 3.41 s

Explanation:

Assuming the question is to find the time $t$ the ball is in air, we can use the following equation:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y=0m$ is the final height of the ball

$y_{o}=40 m$ is the initial height of the ball

$V_{o}=10 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball

$t$ is the time the ball is in air

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity

$\theta=30\°$

Then:

$0 m=40 m+(10 m/s)(sin(30\°))t-\frac{1}{2}9.8 m/s^{2}t^{2}$

$0 m=40 m+5m/s t-4.9 m/s^{2}t^{2}$

Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1 and rearranging:

$4.9 m/s^{2}t^{2}-5m/s t-40 m=0$

At this point we have a quadratic equation of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

Where:

$a=4.9$

$b=-5$

$c=-40$

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(4.9)(-40)}}{2(4.9)}$

Solving the equation and choosing the positive result we have:

$t=3.41 s$ This is the time the ball is in air

Help!!! Line B touches the circle at a single point. Line A extends through the center of the circle.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

If I understand correctly. Line B is parallel to the circle. Also, the angle is less than 90.

The size of the circle determines.
The diameter should not be fixed either.
